German airport rolls out world's first robotic parking valet

AWESOME: Ray is Dusseldorf Airport's robotic parking valet.

Dusseldorf Airport has rolled out what it's calling the world’s first robotic parking valet that spares time-crunched travelers from having to circle lots looking for a parking space. 

Named Ray, the robot was put to work last week and operates like a forklift, picking up cars and positioning them in one of the dedicated 249 spots reserved for the automated valets, reports Airport World.
